Even though it’s the
middle of July and the heat of the sun is blazing high, summers is going just
as God planned. This summer, for me that
is, I wanted to do something different, so instead of eating, watching TV,
going to the pool, traveling or visiting friends, I chose to spend with God.
This summer I was
needing something more so I ask God what He thought I should do and amazingly,
in His own way He lead me to a book of prayers that was given to me by a friend
several years ago. I remembered glancing
through the pages and promising that I would read it soon, will soon has turned
into eight years since then.
So I picked it up and
the best place to start is at the beginning.
It’s not a long book only 198 pages of printed words but it soon become
more than just words on a page. You see I
had been asking God to teach me how to pray for some time now, don’t get me
wrong I do pray all the time but I don’t want to pray as a “hypocrite” with
repetitive prayers and request. I wanted
to be able to pray with power and be able to see the results of my prayers. Jesus said that we will be able to do what He has done and I decided I wanted that not only in my prayer life, but in my daily walking with Him.
Please, know that this
is not just available for me but it has been given to each of His children, and
this privilege we have been given through Jesus Christ, His Son that we are
able to:
“… therefore come boldly unto the
throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of
need.” Heb 4:16
You see I ask God one
time what made the difference between many now and great me of yesterday, such
as R.A. Torrey, William Seymour, Andrew Murray, Madam Guyon and so many more. There
were some who spent hours in prayer, and there were those who woke before dawn
to welcome the first light with prayer and because of their devotion and faith
they experience a mighty outpouring of the Spirit when they ministered. Thousands came to Christ and into the Kingdom and today we have a
hand full of Saints that has this kind of power. So my question is, shouldn’t we all – who profess
Christ have this same kind of power? Such power
that we all may walk with a kind of boldness and faith and assurance that God can
and will work through each of us the same as He did with Saints of old.
God’s Word says: “Verily
I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and
whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Mt. 18:18),
and according to Mt. 16:19 this “the keys
of the kingdom of Heaven…” Now keys
represent authority and we have been given this promise and authority in the
Word of God. Through prayer which is our
constant connection to Him, and through His Word, God begins to teach us what we have gained and what
blessings belong to us as being His chosen children.

You see, for it was
through prayer and reading prayers and believing these prayers that God gave me
a Raima Word, that is the inspired word from His Logos, the written word. What I’m saying is that God open the eyes of
my understanding and now this word is living and breathing in me. I can truly say that what He has shown me is alive and real. The revelation of what was given to me through
prayers is also available to you His children, and to all who believe to receive a
Raima Word.
There are so many gold
nuggets in this little book of prayers that a wise man will search them out and
bask in the riches of God’s glory. Study, read, search the scriptures above for
a deeper understanding, read your Bible, ask God to reveal His Word to your
heart, that it becomes Raima Word and most of all don’t forget to pray.
Be bless
